In 2005, Cody (vocals/guitar) and Shane (bass/vocals) decided to get off of their lazy asses and finally form a band already. But alas....they didn't know a single person, animal, robot, or monkey that could play the drums. They were invited to jam with Andy Krause (guitarist of Martyr Machine, check 'em out on myspace) who had been fiddling with the drums for a lil' bit. Taaadaaaaa! Rotten Bastards are born. Early on it was decided to try something different than what was already out there. The metal scene was watered-down with cookie cutter "metalcore" bands, and they all shared a dying love of Alternative/Grunge music. So that's what they're striving for. If you know a current band like this, or are in one, these three stooges would love to hear from you! We are not afraid to be different. We are not afraid to mix genres, be it in one song or seperate songs. We will not be denied and we will NOT be stopped! So watch out! Our base camp is in Greenville MI, about 2 hours away from Detroit, but we still just want to spread our havoc as far as we can!
